NWS Pocatello, ID wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 2, 1:00 PM MST, 2 hours 25 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pocatello ID 200 PM MDT Sat Aug 2 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - Daily, isolated showers and thunderstorms will continue through Monday, primarily each afternoon. Stronger storms will be capable of producing gusty winds, small hail, and brief heavy rain. - Conditions will remain very dry outside of any showers or thunderstorms, with near normal to below normal temperatures expected through early next week. - Warmer and dry condition will return midweek under the increasing influence of high pressure, before trending cooler and breezier late next week. && .SHORT TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... Issued at 200 PM MDT Sat Aug 2 2025 Broad complex low remains centered over the northern portions of the Gulf of Alaska today, with weak shortwave crossing East Idaho per wv satellite imagery. Starting to see some development across portions of the central mountains and along/just south of the Utah border this afternoon per radar imagery. Isolated thunderstorms remain possible this afternoon once again generally over higher terrain. Gust potential remains around 50 mph. Another round occurs on Sunday, but generally focused further north along the Montana border. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... Issued at 200 PM MDT Sat Aug 2 2025 Stronger shortwave ejects northeast across East Idaho on Monday, bringing a slightly increased chance of thunderstorms across the central mountains and along the Divide. The rest of the region is still expected to remain dry. Starting Tuesday, a strong area of high pressure builds across Arizona/New Mexico. Weak ridge is expected to nudge north into East Idaho, but amplified trough remains along the PacNW coast. Breezy southwest winds should be in place Tuesday through Thursday, leading to potential fire concerns in the long term. Leaning into late Thursday and Friday, the PacNW trough appears to shift inland, flattening ridge and potentially introducing moisture back to the region by the weekend. Throughout the week, temperatures remain fairly stable in the upper 80s to low 90s, with Wednesday being the warmest day prior to encroachment of the upper trough. && .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/... Issued at 1115 AM MDT Sat Aug 2 2025 Isolated thunderstorms will largely remain away from terminals today but have included a PROB30 period from 00z to 06z tonight at KDIJ. CAMs show isolated storms/showers working through the vicinity of the terminal during this timeframe and HREF indicates a 30 percent probability of thunder while chances remain under 20 percent elsewhere this afternoon and evening. Storms will be capable of gusts to around 45 kts. Otherwise, winds will gust 18 to 25 kts areawide this afternoon before becoming light again tonight. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 200 PM MDT Sat Aug 2 2025 A series of shortwaves will keep isolated showers and thunderstorms in the forecast through early next week, although chances will become mostly confined to our northernmost Fire Weather Zones beginning tomorrow (Zones 475, 476, and 413). Activity will be more widespread today, with the best chances for isolated convection (up to around 20 percent chance) being along our borders with MT, WY, UT, and NV, in Zones 475, 476, 411, 413, and 427. Thunderstorms will be capable of producing gusts to around 50 mph. Outside of storms, afternoon wind gusts will max out at around 30 mph. Conditions will trend drier and warmer over the next few days as high pressure amplifies over the region. Monday and/or Tuesday continue to look like the next potential opportunities for meeting Red Flag conditions for gusty winds and low relative humidity, most specifically across FWZs 410 and 413. && .PIH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && SHORT TERM...DMH LONG TERM...DMH AVIATION...Cropp FIRE WEATHER...Cropp
